@avclub-8b59528c5bbf7073061271c79ba0e1e0:disqus Too old for Fox. His audience is rapidly aging. Not Fox's style. Also the Fox affiliates make a crap-load of money with syndicated sitcom reruns at 11 p.m. (ET/PT). Wrenching that away from them would be a gigantic pain in the bunghole.

Regarding the insanely washed-out colors of this episode which made it hard to watch, someone tweeted, "@davidoreilly Did the episode air incorrectly?" and he replied "I believe so."

I was about to mention that. It was called "Grave Danger." That was by far the best episode of CSI I'd ever seen, and quite entertaining and suspenseful. Since then I've given up on crime procedurals but I'd watch another Tarantino episode anytime.

Hmmmmmm, there's an idea. That didn't even occur to me. Thanks.

Ah, the washed-out colors! So THAT'S what was bothering me so much! Thanks for putting it in words. My reaction was more like, "Gah, urgh gaaaaaah, urrrgh, eck eck gahhhh WRONG!"

Oh shit, now I have to watch the episode again On Demand so I can see & hear that.

I tried watching an episode of Xavier: Renegade Angel once. That was a couple of years ago.

@avclub-9ddf1c857e23062a0a0b88ffd155d343:disqus Yeah, I'm forced to agree about Blake's 7. I recently watched all of Blake's 7 (except for a handful of the reputed-to-be-worst episodes). I didn't find it very satisfying overall.

Many would argue that RTD was just not *good* at backstory and motivation for villains. Sure, "just evil" is fine sometimes but let's have a few more interesting villains too. New ones preferably. If Batman: The Animated Series and Adventure Time can do it then I think Doctor Who should be able to manage it.

Twilight set? Isn't he too weird-looking to appeal to Twilight types? Or at least the ones in America anyway. I can't claim to know what appeals to ladies (or gay men) but with those bizarre recessed eyes and oddly-shaped face, the first time I saw him I was like, "Oh, cool, a weird and eccentric-looking freak, that's…

Unfortunately one of DW's major flaws is that the villains don't get much characterization or motivation. This is something that seems to get lost with the 42-minute time limit, but with story arcs they could theoretically do more with it, and even make some Doctor-lite episodes out of a focus on villain(s) and their…

@avclub-ad45e11f2e88b8963920c79cd1d8755e:disqus "…maybe it was the music." YES, THIS. I HATE the goddamn music — it's the worst! I can't believe they give awards to this shmuck composer! It was so twee and twinkly in this episode. UGH.

Maybe it's a difference of potential. DW can theoretically go almost anywhere and do almost anything, so fans can come up with imaginary high points that they're hoping the show can reach and that, in some ways, go far beyond the potential high points of Batman: The Animated Series. I mean, some of us really rabid…

@avclub-14e4cee178d88fb9aa346dbcc11f2873:disqus 99.95% of American sci-fi/fantasy is done in Canada. It's still American companies and writers. Canada is just a filming location pretty much. Well except when it's ACTUALLY made by Canadian companies and writers and then sold to our channels later (Continuum, Lost Girl).

I'd say the new DW has some amazing special effects, and could potentially pull off lots of alien worlds really effectively. Sadly the writers are just not brave enough to attempt it more often. It's a failure of writing, not a failure of money. Moffat and RTD seem to believe that the audience needs Earth to identify…

But that would require Moffat to admit he didn't think through the gibberish plot and time travel paradoxes of "Angels Take Manhattan." Fat chance.

I loved a *few* Ned's songs as a teen, but the God Fodder album had way too much filler, as I recall. I wrote a review saying so in the kids'/teens' section of my local paper, putting down the idea that they could be "the next Nirvana" even though I'm not sure anybody was actually saying that, and got a lot of shit…

Disagree. I hate Blind Melon and their whiny, cardboard-scraping-on-carpet/nails-on-chalkboard singer with the passion of a thousand fiery nuns, and I'm not sure why. Every time I hear them, I fly into an uncontrollable rage like a Rob Lowe character from a bad 90s made-for-Lifetime movie. What's that about?

Erik Adams, "five night's a week"? Really? Jesus. Why do you want to anger the swarm of 10,000 bile-spitting disembodied English teachers' heads from beyond the veil? That's a bad idea. They don't like it when you abuse apostrophes.

This is similar to what I was thinking. Brenda could also join the Bro-lliance if she realizes she's at the bottom of the Favorites. The question is: Does she realize this? And will the Favorites still have the same pecking order after the merge, with Erik and Brenda still at the bottom, or will people stop humoring…
